Availability and readiness of health facilities for non-communicable disease services in Ethiopia: Evidence from the nationally representative health facility survey 2022.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In response to the escalating non-communicable disease (NCD) challenge, effective management of NCDs requires sustained investments in infrastructure, trained health workforce, and the consistent availability of guidelines.
